| BE IT RESOLVED
Saturday, December 31, 2022
We could all tell a story or spout a speech about everything that bugged us this year, but most of it is just ‘stuff,’ and it won’t matter much or for long.
And, we could all tell a story or spout a speech about everything we’d like to do next year – and we should; we should shout loud and tell the story often if it’s essential information. If it matters much and will matter for long, we owe a duty to our mission, our feelings and those who might benefit from what we dream of, so let’s get busy.
In terms of resolutions, here’s mine:
Be it resolved, that life will be better for me and mine, for my clients, colleagues and competitors because I did something to contribute. We are always right in our minds on issues we feel strongly about, which doesn’t mean anyone agrees, but we believe our view has worth and merit. If we are going to succeed at anything, we have to assume that sometimes we are 100% wrong and someone else is 100% right. It’s rarely that stark because we are all partly right and partly wrong about most things.
Be it resolved that I’ll talk less and listen more, then think about and write about it …
This will be hard because I love to talk about ideas, and while my urge to discuss and debate remains clear and steady to my core, this is something I need to be better at restraining so I can hear other viewpoints first, which means I need to talk last, and sometimes not at all.
Yes, be it resolved.
